Hey, just my 2 cents. I read through the whole thread (skimming), mainly focusing on OP postings and resposnses etc. I have to say this. To conceptualize something as different is one thing. To reflect upon it as appealing is another. To ask a question of the general public before revealing something deemed to be "different" is to indirectly request someones opinion to validate your work. Thus, the reasoning for my distaste in this whole thread. Your title, for one, puts me off. If "it is what it is", then let it be just that. Don't have to announce to the world (this forum) that you are attempting to go off the wall.

The car itself, as a whole is kind of a "mish-mash" of different schools of thought. In my humble opinion i quite like it. Nothing about it is overly mediocre, and nothing is overly well-done either. It sits in a pocket of sinister, with a hint of unrefined elegance. My use of big words is not meant to impress, its meant to explain something that i have an opinion on. <---see what i did there? its what your doing now...and it's whats bugging me.

I know i use those words to come off brainy and well-learned. Who cares? none of you have seen me so who cares what my online persona is? You are doing that same thing. You are trying to show the world how different/unique you are. why? if u are that, then just be that. you dont need to show it to the world. It just so happens that your expression of your individuality is something that will be seen by many people. Thats fine. But, if you truly believe in it, dont explain it before you show it off. just let it be what it is, and answer questions accordingly. try not to be defensive in your explanations. if people dont see your vision, so be it. If they want to "flame" or "****" on your ride, then let them. They are who they are and you cant change that. It seems as if your trying to create a conflict, and then call foul on those who engage you.

Finally, we are not the first generation on earth, so sadly, its almost safe to say that nothing is unique anymore. The only thing one can do, is execute a current style better then the others. I caught a feeling from reading this thread that most of the car buliding vets are all saying the same thing. Its not really as unique as u think it is, because its all been done. Graffiti on cars...check...underglow...check...huge wings...check.....crazy swaps.....check. Dont claim those as your own. No harm in having inspiration from other builds, that wont make you a follower.

Thanks for reading, and keep up the good work.

Awaiting vids. Don't care if they're good, just want to sees this thing moving!

BTW. what were you drifting?

Drifting? Na I don't do that shit brah, I just went out to see what all the hype was about. To be perfectly honest I wasn't too impressed, seems like a complete waste of tires to me. It's all about circuit racing, you can't get the best lap times by wasting it sliding through corners.

[jared1988]

went out to see the hype of drifting? suddenly becomes expert at it, seems legit

oh i didnt know drifting was about lap times too, gosh i am so noob

You say "brah", but you circuit race?

Then STFU if you arent going to get out and try it. Brah.

on a related note. just got done with the whole steering setup. Had to shorten and add more threads to my tie rods since i raised my rack up and got some R package tie rod ends, i was like 8 * toe out with as much caster and posi camber i could get. Now im sittin pretty with the wheel a good bit more forward and about 2* less camber. hopefully my toe boards will come in tomorrow and i can align her

^ this is brilliant

for the cliffs notes, "It seems as if your trying to create a conflict, and then call foul on those who engage you."

I would suggest that the op read this again, let it marinate a bit, meditate or something and reflect a bit longer. could be what keeps the sushi fresh
